Clarity Across Borders

At Lumena Global Advisory, we help U.S. leaders operate with confidence and precision across Latin America. Our work begins where most expansion strategies fall apart: in the human, cultural, and operational realities that determine whether cross-border growth succeeds or quietly bleeds time and money.

Our Philosophy

Expansion is not a spreadsheet. It’s a people strategy.

 

Executives succeed in LATAM when they understand:

  • How decisions are made
  • How teams build trust
  • How communication is interpreted
  • How leadership is expected
  • How relationships impact execution

 

When leaders adjust with cultural intelligence, performance accelerates.

Our Advantage

Most U.S. companies underestimate how different LATAM truly is not in the work itself, but in how people work.

 

Lumena stands apart because we bring:

  • Team members and strategic partners in key LATAM markets
  • Executive-level advisory designed for CEOs and founders
  • Deep cultural fluency across the Americas
  • People-first strategy grounded in real organizational behavior
  • Experience bridging U.S. expectations with LATAM realities

We don’t just translate language. We translate leadership.

We partner with CEOs, founders, and executive teams to ensure their expansion into Latin America is strategic, culturally fluent, and aligned with real regional expectations.

 

Where traditional consulting focuses on market data alone, we focus on what actually drives performance in LATAM:

  • Leadership style
  • Communication norms
  • Employee expectations
  • Organizational structure
  • Localized People & Culture realities
  •  

This is the clarity leaders need to scale smoothly across borders.

Our Global Presence

Lumena operates with a dual presence:

  • U.S. headquarters in Hollywood, FL
  • On-the-ground partners across key LATAM markets, including Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Costa Rica, the Caribbean and growing.

 

This gives our clients real-time insight, direct access to regional intelligence, and support rooted in lived experience, not assumptions.

The Founder

 

Lumena Global Advisory was founded by Stephanie Pimentel, a global HR and People Strategy leader known for her ability to decode cultures, unify teams, and shape executives across borders.

For over a decade, she has helped multinational organizations navigate the complexities of Latin America while aligning their People & Culture strategy with U.S.-based requirements.

Her strength lies in bridging worlds: translating expectations, elevating leaders, and ensuring companies can scale with clarity, respect, and trust across regions.

Our Commitment to You

 

Cross-border expansion should feel clear, not chaotic.

Aligned, not fragmented.

Strategic, not reactive.

 

With Lumena, you gain a partner who understands both sides and brings them together.
